The webzine announced that original video content would be added to the website beginning in 2010.
Reviews, interviews and features from What's On The Hi-Fi have been reprinted by various media sources, including artist and label webpages / promotional materials and music-related websites.
In early 2010, What's On The Hi-Fi participated in Longplay, Face B project of Paris-based artist Daniela Franco. Face B is both a website-based project as well a collection of rare vinyl and album art which was held in conjunction with the Vinyl exhibit curated by Guy Schraenen on exhibit at the Paris art foundation La Maison Rouge. Longplay features playlists created by artists, musicians, designers, and those in the musical community, with each playlist created following a specific brief. As part of the project, What's On The Hi-Fi created a playlist reflecting the biography of the webzine's founders.
